MDC T PRESIDENT NELSON CHAMISA, FIRES WREAKS HAVOC ON MATEBELELAND AND FIRES 17 BULAWAYO MDC-T provincial executive members, in a fresh purge on officials aligned to Thokozani Khupe.
The purge arose shortly after the MDC-T national council fired MDC T Vice President Thokozani Khupe, ex national organising secretary, Abednico Bhebhe and ex national spokesperson, Obert Gutu.
The dismissed MDC T officials include Bulawayo MDC T provincial secretary Nomvula Mguni, Bulawayo women’s assembly chairperson, Tamani Moyo, Bulawayo local government secretary, Aleck Gumede, Bulawayo information and publicity secretary, Beauty Lifa, Mildred Reason Mangena, Bulawayo Ward 18 chairperson, Mildred Ncube, Bulawayo ward 29 chairperson, Emmelia Moyo, Bulawayo district organiser, Samson Mubemi Magwegwe, and Dorcus Ncube.
Also fired are MDC T party Bulawayo youth Mqondisi Balanda Moyo, Alfred Dzirutwe, Sphathisiwe Moyo, Nkanyiso Mabhena, Sibongile Moyo, a Stanley and a Sbyleen.
The MDC-T axe also fell on the MDC T party’s Bulawayo district women’s assembly chairpersons from Makokoba, Mpopoma, Njube-Lobengula, Pumula and Magwegwe.
These are Edward Simela (Mpopoma/Pelandaba main wing district), a Masuku (Nkulumane main district), Mavis Mlilo, Flora Gumbo, a Matshazi, a Chingundla and a Ponah, who are general members.
Contacted for comment, Khupe’s spokesperson, Witness Dube dismissed the purge as a non-event, indicating that Khupe, at a rally in Bulawayo, said all members concerned have a right to dissociate themselves for the Chamisa-led faction.
The reasons were that they adopted the use of violence to coerce members to rally behind them and discrimination of members on tribalism and feminism. These were clearly pronounced in her speech.
When they claim to have fired Khupe and Bhebhe, Khupe openly said this was a non-event, as we have since dissociated ourselves from them,” he said.
“President Khupe has since called for an extraordinary congress, which was earlier on scheduled for April 7, but has since been postponed to April 21 due to security reasons since we realised that Chamisa and crew will be having their rally here in Bulawayo on the day.”
Dube said Khupe’s party has put structures in eight provinces and only two provinces are yet to be structured.
